Carrboro Coffee Collaborates

We are LOVING this most recent bottling of Steel String's No Quarter Coffee Stout! Our friends across the way brew this every year with our cold pressed Guatemalen La Providencia coffee. It's an 7.4% coffee and oatmeal stout that features an intense coffee aroma and flavor, with a finish of semi-sweet cocoa. This batch has an additional infusion of our Ethiopia ARDI for floral and berry notes.

Featured Client

This month's featured client is Standard Foods! This hip, contemporary restaurant and artisanal food market is proudly serving and stocking Carrboro Coffee Roasters. Learn more about them here.
